About

Thomas “Tony Montana” Mickens was the kind of guy rappers pretend to be — a flashy 1980’s Queens drug dealer who did baller things like buy a $110,000 yacht in cash. He also brazenly started a bunch of businesses under his “Montana” alias, and this was the location of Montana Dry Cleaners, which had its own after-hours activities

50 Cent captured this era of Queens street life in his song “Ghetto Qu'ran”. In the picture are other dons of the era, Lorenzo “Fat Cat” Nichols, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, and James “Wall” Corley
